For the 96th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Jaclyn Friedman, founder and executive director of EducateUS: SIECUS In Action, to talk about sex ed in the U.S. \u2014 and why it's vital that we do better.\xa0\nJaclyn is a long-time feminist activist. She's also the author of\xa0Unscrewed: Women, Sex, Power, and How to Stop Letting the System Screw Us All\xa0and\xa0What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl's Shame-Free Guide to Sex and Safety. In this episode, Jaclyn shares her mission to transform public school sex education in the United States and how we can do that via voting and running for office on the school board level, as so much of this issue is currently decided locally. We also cover the wide-reaching impact of good sex ed, how the culture wars are drawing attention to work in this space, the insidious, politically co-opted language of "grooming" and how it affects childhood sexual assault survivors, and more.\nFor more Jaclyn Friedman:\n\nCheck out the EducateUS: SIECUS In Action website educateusaction.org\n\n\nCheck out Jaclyn's website jaclynfriedman.com\n\n\nFollow Jaclyn on Twitter @jaclynf\n\n\nFollow Jaclyn on Instagram @jaclynfable\n\n\n\n***BUY A PRO-ABORTION SHIRT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR "ABORTION IN POST-ROE AMERICA" REPORTING TRIP (use code PRIVATE to save 10%): https://www.bonfire.com/store/private-parts-unknown/\nHere's a playlist of our previous abortion-related episodes, including the "Men Have Abortions Too" series: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BFDkcQYzdfq5YEV5buzzO?si=19a1d68b109845dd\nPsst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: https://linktr.ee/cocopeepshow\nPrivate Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.
